Where design and creativity meet!

I was recently introduced to some free image editing tools that I thought would be useful/helpful to others, so I’d like to share this awesome resource.

It’s called Aviary, and it’s a line of multiple web-based applications (no installation required) that seem awesome, and are now free to use!

There are several tools, actually (not just image editing), including:

  • Image Editor
  • Color Editor
  • Effects Editor
  • Vector Editor
  • Image Markup
  • Screen Capture
  • Audio Editor

I’ve briefly played around with the Image Editor called Phoenix, and it seems pretty equivalent to Photoshop Elements!

I hope this resource is helpful to you!

Now, I’ve made a very rough video tutorial (my first ever!) to show you what Aviary’s Image Editor, Phoenix, looks like… mainly, I wanted to show how similar its workspace is to Photoshop Elements, which is what I normally use… I couldn’t think of what edit to make, so I made a very simple change in color hue by using a layer and changing its opacity… probably not the best way of accomplishing this, but I made the video on the fly with only one take, so I had to think on the spot! :)

This also means I now have my very own YouTube Channel, which you can visit here:

You can visit Aviary and try out their tools for yourself:

Sign up so that you can login and start working with the tools… also, be sure to update the Permissions & License area if you don’t want your images to be publically available (under the Profile and Account settings).
